I feel honored :-)
But maybe I should also mention that the gnomes of GNOME ignore the Xresources and you'll need "dconf-editor" to get that working: "dconf-editor", select "search" from the menu (which is at the top of the window), then a new search field will appear (at the bottom of the window, sure) where you should type "cursor-size". Change it to 24/32/48, whatever you like.
I suspect Redhat has a special taskforce to find most creative ways to break KISS.
